Well sure. Take an angle grinder and cut the entire lock into tiny
pieces or connect 120VAC to the battery connectors.


I was thinking more in line with a simple way to disable them, perhaps
something a high school kid pranking a classmate might do, basically
nothing requiring power tools.

Pulling out an angle grinder In a locker room or hallway might
attract some attention. Getting 120VAC to trailer in a parking lot
might also be problematic.


Why do you think they invented battery powered tools?
